Kay, Up untill recently I was using an older Matrox Millenium G550 card in my system. Got awesome rates and refreshes on everything from Quake 1 OGL to even the bigger games like SIN and DEUS EX. Have since burnt out my matrox due to a little overclocking mishap and now am using an MSI StarForce card with the NVidia GeForce2 MX100/200 gpu. I'm noticing now that 2D stuff (like a certain SNES emulator) now have really, REALLY terrible framerates, Or stutter a lot, And I can't even run Q2 in anything less than 640x480 smoothly now..
System specs for the box are as follows:
Celeron 600mhz cpu, Genuine intel.
160mb RAM
Abovementioned MSI card.
Any ideas on why this card seems so much slower than the g550? I keep reading everywhere that the GForce2 kicks this card's butt with it's specs, But I'm not seeijng any of this '3D Badness' I keep hearing about..
Could it be a fault of the card? Or does this thing require some tinkering with the MSI clock and core settings? tried the auto-find settings button under properties but all it does is run the test, Go to panel, Go to the test.. in an endless loop.. Can I safely oerclock it? should it matter? My case runs no hotter than about 45degrees c btw..
